| Popis: | Cardiovascular reactivity (CVR) to stressful stimuli is predictive of future development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Anger appears to be an important mediator of this relationship. Unfortunately, the majority of research in this area has utilized predominantly male subjects, leaving the relationship between CVD and anger in females largely unexplored. To address the dearth of research among females, the present study examined the relationship between Anger-In, as well as Anger-Out, and CVR to stressors among women. Females reporting moderate levels of Anger-Out exhibited lower blood pressure reactions to a mental arithmetic stressor than females reporting high and low levels of Anger-Out. Females reporting moderate levels of Anger-Out also exhibited lower heart rate reactions than individuals reporting high levels of Anger-Out. Anger-In was not related to CVR in the present study. |
